Only One Man Can Tweet More Than Hideo Kojima…His Swedish Alter-Ego

Kotaku - Mysterious Metal Gear game The Phantom Pain was the star of last week's Spike VGAs. The Twitter account of its "Head CEO" Joakim N. Mogren, complete with wonderfully photoshopped Kojima head, is the star of your Monday.

He is looking pretty spiffy with that sweet stache... I think Kojima might just have found himself a new look!

Snookies124565d ago

You're right Morgan Freeman! Didn't know you got on N4G...

Apparently, these guys don't follow David Jaffe...

"I would like to apologize to Sony about my previous comment about the Vita. I hope this does not affect our relationship."

Translation: I'm sorry for taking two years only to kill off my Vita project, please don't kill me...

Mounce4564d ago

With a comment like THAT you know though that it's a joke account and not Kojima himself now.

I seen this silly title for an article to only think of one site that could have made this...KOTAKU! -_-
Funny pic though!

I Owe You An Apology, Hideo Kojima, I Wasn't Familiar With Your Game

Hideo Kojima and PlayStation go together like hobbits and breakfasts. That is to say, they're meant to be together, but they're also happy to serve up a PC port or afternoon tea if the time is right. Kojima's long-time collaboration with Sony means it always feels odd to see his name next to an Xbox logo, like Master Chief appearing on your PS5 or glimpsing your teacher in the big Tesco doing her weekly shop.

Good to see people coming around.

yawn. ^ All of this opinion piece sounds like someone’s recount when they get out of the norm and go on a hiking vacation and boast about their “life changing moments” over things extremely common and accessible to everyone. Get a rocket ship and take some selfies already. jezzus .

Anybody else gave up reading a few paragraphs in?

If you missed out on old games it’s nothing to apologize for. Just the way life goes sometimes. We can’t access everything in our short lives.

Kojima has always been full of it... this is another example of his BS.

MrNinosan22d ago

lelo2play has always been full of it, and one of the long lasting trolls here... this is another example of his BS comments.

1nsomniac22d ago

100% the guy is the absolute king of his own bullshit. Kojima and his fans baffle me with how brazen they are with it!

Pyrofire9522d ago

Have you ever cared about something?

__SteakDeck__22d ago

@MrNinosan Obscure has always been full of it and is another troll.

TheEroica22d ago

Kojima is as dumb as a stack of bricks. 🤷 His lust over gamers hating his games is just silly. He's a lousy story teller and he should stick to making games built around compelling gameplay.... The moment a cutscene starts my eyes auto roll.

Z50122d ago

Couldn't even imagine rolling my eyes since 1998

P_Bomb22d ago

Dumb as a stack of bricks? Funny, some comments have the same effect on me. Instant eye roll.🙄

jznrpg23d ago

I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.

anast22d ago

It's a really good game. Heartman is my favorite character.

SlothLordPootus21d ago

I'm playing through it for my first time, enjoying parts of it, and other parts not so much. It's definitely a Kojima ass game in all the good and bad ways. Honestly the combat/stealth sucks ass in it tho, which is really the worst part for me, which is a bit inconceivable given MGS V.

Knushwood Butt21d ago

Exactly. The combat and stealth suck and are just shoehorned in to deliver a layer of challenge.
Hold your breath when going through the same BT areas EVERY time.
Nonsense about weather forecasts when it ALWAYS rains in certain areas no matter what.
Tedious Cliff fights.
Dumb BT fights that you can 100% walk (wade) away from without the enemies attacking you.
Broken lore about dead bodies.
The list is long.
Having said that, I've platinumed both versions from scratch.

-Foxtrot23d ago

Then why do a sequel straight away?

Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

Reverse psychology...ok I won't buy it then.

Eonjay22d ago

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.
